Design and Analysis of Multi- Link Structure for Rear Independent Suspension of Heavy Vehicle

Abstract

In this thesis, a multi link structure for rear independent structure of heavy vehicle is designed and modelled in 3D modelling software Creo 2.0. Two models are done by varying the pitch value of spring 12.6mm and 18.5mm. Finite element analysis is performed on the structure by varying materials Chromoly 4130, Alloy Steel 1018, Aluminium alloy 6061. Static, Modal and Random Vibration analysis are done to determine displacements, stresses and frequencies. Analysis is done in Ansys.
